Everything else? Ya. “Deserved” penalties. a slash on Aho? When he clearly hit the bottom third of the stick? Canes have a whole lot of karma stored up. 
 

I agree some of the penalties were called correctly, but that "slash" was game changing and the amount of times Washington could have been called penalties but weren't is frustrating. 

Hockey gods should really be on our side for awhile after the last week we've had.

That just boggles my mind cause I’m pretty sure Aho hasn’t hit the box this season. We play one of our best games this season but the refs hit us with a 5-3? Absolute trash. If it was a deserved penalty? No problem. But Aho never got close to a slash.

I didn’t realize we only had a couple home games before we go back on a road trip. We just got back from the west coast, we have 2 more home games after Dallas then it’s right back up to Canada. Jeez that’s miserable 

Yeah, this is a tough stretch coming up:

11/30: @ Dallas

12/2: Ottawa

12/4: Buffalo

12/7: @ Winnipeg Jets

12/9: @ Calgary Flames

12/11: @ Edmonton Oilers

12/12: @ Vancouver Canucks

12/14: @ Minnesota Wild

I just want the refs to call it down the middle, and just like with the Panthers it just seems the Canes do not get the calls like some other teams do.  I don't know if it's because we are a "small" market team or the refs truly don't like us, but I've seen plenty this year where other teams get away with "judgement" penalties and we don't....especially in critical situations.

Just have to persevere and hope RBA and Waddell are talking to NHL officials and maybe that will make some kind of difference.  If it continues I wouldn't be surprised if RBA drops a couple of bombs during a press conference and ponies up the fine.

The only arguable point was that Aho broke the stick. But it’s clear as day he’s going for the puck which then offsets the slashing. The rest of the penalties I could live with. But that was an absolute trash call.

Not to mention the ref didn't call it until Ovechkin raised his arm and yelled at the ref, in pure Tom Brady fashion, telling him to make the call.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
